Benefits of technology

The invention is a disinfecting product that can be registered with the EPA as a tubercidocide, which means it is effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The product contains a combination of a 1,2-alkanodiol and a quaternary ammonium salt. This combination has been found to have a unique effectiveness against hard surfaces, especially at low concentrations. It is the first time that 1,2-alkanodiol has been used in a disinfectant product and meets the EPA standards for hospital hard surface disinfectant products.

Problems solved by technology

While the composition is able to kill tuberculosis-causing bacteria, it requires a medium to high level of the glycol ether and a strong alkali compound to enhance the germicidal effect of the quaternary ammonium salt, and it has not been shown to have 100% efficacy in killing tuberculosis-causing bacteria.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The composition, a wipe, methods of preparation, and processes for disinfecting surfaces in accordance with the present invention will now be discussed in detail. It should be noted that the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, representative compositions, methods, and processes, and illustrative examples described in connection with the preferred embodiments and preferred methods. Modifications and equivalents will be apparent to practitioners skilled in this art and are encompassed within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0025]The Disinfectant Wipes or Towelettes:

[0026]Disinfectant wipes or towelettes generally improve the performance of liquid disinfectants by providing mechanical cleaning properties and additional soil removal to complement the liquid disinfectants. They also allow for a significant reduction in the level of non-volatile surfactants and other adjuvants needed to achieve desired disinfecting results. Among diff...

Abstract

A disinfectant wipe and disinfectant composition which exhibits exceptional antimicrobial activities as a result of the synergistic combination of a quaternary ammonium salts and 1,2-alkandiol is provided. The wipe is pre-impregnated with a disinfectant composition which comprises a quaternary ammonium salt, a 1,2-alkanediol with 5-10 carbon atoms, a glycol ether, a surfactant, a pH regulating agent, and water, and optionally alcohol. A method of preparation and a process for disinfecting a surface with the wipe composition are also provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to disinfecting wipe products and compositions. More specifically, the invention relates to antimicrobial compositions, wipes pre-impregnated with the antimicrobial composition, methods of preparation, and processes for disinfecting surfaces with the compositions.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Quaternary ammonium salts are broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antibacterial compounds commonly used in hard surface disinfectant products. They are typically available in commercial cleaning formulations with at least one surfactant and at least one organic solvent.[0003]A particularly rigorous application of hard surface cleaning compositions is the class of hospital disinfectant products. Such products must be registered with the United States Environmental Protection Administration. Registration with the EPA requires submission of data establishing the disinfecting efficacy of the product. For example, DIS / TSS-1 Jan. 22, 1982 spec...
